Malcolm Middleton is a Scottish musician and songwriter, renowned for his poignant lyricism and distinctive blend of indie rock and folk influences. Born on December 31, 1973, in Dumfries, Scotland, Middleton first came to prominence as one half of the indie band Arab Strap, alongside Aidan Moffat. After the duo went on hiatus in 2006 (before returning in 2011), Middleton embarked on a solo career that has continually garnered critical acclaim.

Malcolm Middleton's solo discography features a range of introspective and emotionally charged albums that showcase his adept storytelling and guitar work. His debut solo album, "5:14 Fluoxytine Seagull Alcohol John Nicotine," was followed by a series of releases including "Into the Woods," "A Brighter Beat," and "Waxing Gibbous," each album building upon his reputation for crafting thoughtful, melodic songs that combine existential angst with a sardonic wit. Middleton's more recent works, such as "Bananas" and "Summer of '13," have seen him experimenting with electronic textures, while maintaining his core singer-songwriter sensibilities. Known for his self-deprecating humor and candid exploration of mental health themes, Middleton continues to resonate with fans who find solace and kinship in his candid musical narratives.
